Roaches in PA
February 20, 2008There are only three or four species of Roaches that you will find in your home here in Lancaster and York, PA. The most popular by far, is the German Roach. Sometimes confused with Brown Banded Roaches, German Roaches are light brown and small. These guys multiply faster than rabbits. They always come from people bringing them in, or by an attached building that has an infestation. They do not live outside, and need to dwell with people to survive. Once impregnated, the female German Roach can release eggs at will. It’s kind of scary isn’t it? Well don’t fear, Dominion is here! We can get control of these roaches rather quickly. Maintaining control is recommended monthly.

Another roach commonly seen here is the Oriental Cockroach. Black and larger, they are found mostly in basements, but can be seen wondering around even on the 2nd floor. In Lancaster and York, PA, one can find oriental roaches living in the sewers and coming up dried out drains. Older structures seem to be more susceptible to oriental roaches. Spraying is not as effective as commercial granule baits for this roach which loves the cover of darkness. There will be a significant decrease of activity after our 1st service for oriental roaches. Maintaining control is recommended monthly.

The American Cockroach is the biggest that you will find in your home here in Lancaster and York, PA. These are the ones exterminators tell their “War Stories” about. They are a formidable foe, but with proper professional products mixed with experience, they don’t stand a chance against Dominion Pest Control. Although they are frightening to the home occupier, we can get and maintain control of these guys easily.
Spiders in Lancaster & York
February 20, 2008There are many types of spiders that will invade your home here in Lancaster and York PA, too many to name actually. One thing that you need to know is that they can be stopped. Years ago, people would tell me that someone in the pest control industry told them that there was nothing that you could do for spiders. Well that simply isn’t true. We will get and maintain control! In fact, when someone is on our Quarterly Perimeter Powerspraying plan, they won’t see many at all. That’s right, we can control them to the point that you’ll wonder where they all went!
One of the ways we get control of spiders is by treating rooms in the home with a general spray insecticide on the initial service where the spiders are being sighted. Something that is important is to have us treat the basement and garage on the initial service also. From there, we maintain control quarterly from the outside. Now we are not talking about something you pick up at the hardware store; we use products that are long lasting along with low toxicity rates. And best of all, mostly every product we use has virtually no odor at all! Call us for more details!
